All glory, laud, and honor to Thee, Redeemer, King
To whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring
Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David’s royal Son
Who in the Lord’s name comest, the King and Blessed One

The company of angels are praising Thee on high
And mortal men and all things Created make reply
The people of the Hebrews with palms before Thee went
Our praise and prayer and anthems before Thee we present

To Thee, before Thy passion, they sang their hymns of praise
To Thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise
Thou did accept their praises; accept the praise we bring
Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King

My God, My God, O why have You forsaken Me?

All who see me laugh at me, they mock me and they shake their heads:    
“He relied on the Lord, let the Lord be his refuge.”

As dogs around me, they circle me about.    
Wounded me and pierced me, I can number all my bones.

My clothing they divided, for my garments casting lots,    
O Lord, do not desert me, but hasten to my aid.

I will praise you to my people, and proclaim you in their midst,    
O fear the Lord, my people, give glory to God’s name.

John 8

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

 
You shall cross the barren desert,
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.

Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come, follow me, and I will give you rest.

If you pass through raging waters in the sea,
you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow’r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you through it all.

Blessed are your poor,
for the kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked tongues insult and hate you
all because of me,
blessed, blessed are you!

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains high soaring above
thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all life thou givest, to both great and small;
in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
and wither and perish but naught changeth thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all praise we would render, O help us to see
'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.

Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does its successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till sun shall rise and set no more.

Blessings abound where’er He reigns
The pris’ner leaps to lose his chains
The weary find eternal rest
And all the sons of want are blessed.

To our King be highest praise
Rising through eternal days
Just and faithful He shall reign:
Jesus shall reign!

People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.

Let every creature rise and bring
Blessing and honor to our King
Angels descend with songs again
And earth repeat the loud amen!

Luke 19:28-40

I'll bless Your name O God each day that I awake
From dawn to setting sun
Your greatness I'll proclaim
Your glory far exceeds all human thought
So with each breath I'll bless Your name O God

Your name will be revered by children yet to come
As generations sing of wonders You have done
Your strong and mighty deeds are always near
O God Most High Your name will be revered

How great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
How great is the Lord our God
How great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
(And greatly to be praised)

Your gracious hand provides
For all who live and breathe
Your mercy runs to find the helpless and the weak
When we call out to You You hear our cries
And all our needs Your gracious hand provides

Forever without end creation will rejoice
When works of wicked men You finally destroy
Your power we'll proclaim till Christ descends
And You will reign forever without end
